We like pics of buzzsaws too. Not to worry when I get it up and running there will be pictures for sure.
Thanks and I agree a nice new blade will look so good on a sunny morning just after a nice cup of coffee and breakfast.Now just question is Carbide blade or regular & made in Italy or in Canada what hard choices one has to make..Smile
I have considered getting a buzz saw that works on 3pt hitch and pto. Sometimes we cut a fairly good amount of small wood and using buzz saw is much faster with that kind of a saw. When our son moves back I'll have some extra help so them maybe we'll get one. He and I could go in together to buy one. We just don't see many of those around here anymore. When I was young we saw lots of them and yes, I used one many times and helped others who did the same.

That's what we used to have too. Usually ran it off a Farmal Super M.

Yup. That's what we used to have too. Usually ran it off a Farmal Super M.[/QUOTE] Yup that’s what I have. I think my grandfather took it out of the dump LOL. What’s worse and no one ever realized was it had a rip blade on it. Probably from a sawmill. Dang that thing was grabby. Never put your fingers between the wood and table. Wasnt till my father passed and the chore of sharpening fell on me I looked on the web and figured out it was the wrong blade. I should have known as woodworking was one of my hobby’s. Took a 4” grinder with fine paper on it and reshaped the teeth to a flat faced negative hook tooth. Wow! What a difference. Smooooth! I wonder how many of those old saws have rip blades on them them local sawmill guy gave to the local farmer? FWIW I wouldnt bother with a carbide. They’re very easy to sharpen and not half as fussy as one might think.

Ran on the side mounted flat pulley.
It's funny that I was already an old man before I saw a buzz saw with guards! They used to be all bare and nobody thought much about it. I also never knew anyone who had ever got hurt with one other than maybe a cut finger from hitting the teeth when the saw was not running, like maybe when filing.
I think that’s because without all the safety guards even the dumbest people know that blade will cut you in half given the chance.
Are they the same people that clear their snow blower or lawnmower chute with their hands? Because it wasn't labeled "CAUTION"
I remember when I was 8..my bil dad (peepaw) lol...had one hooked up to JD 620.....thought that was amazing...n no guards!
I was at our Local Massey dealer looking for the Buzz saw and he stated he had not sold one in at least 3 years. He said he would not sell to some people since as he said I would have to be kinda sure the next time I saw the person he was not missing a hand ..LOl
